OK… Oscars it is. Dishes & drinks will be cinema-inspired — it doesn’t have to be a current film, or even an Oscar winner. Just somehow movie-related. Fate, by way of a hat and little pieces of paper with names on them, has determined the course assignments: You choose the movie, you chose the dish, you chose the pairing. Switching will be allowed, both parties agreeing. I’m posting a vague schedule, just so people can plan their prep-timing, but you know how it is… the best laid plans…

8 courses:

5pm: ADVentureLoft open and ready for prep (earlier if necessary)

6pm: Prep-time snacks & cocktail: Andy

7pm: Appetizer: Lisa

7:30pm: Soup: Richard

8pm: 1st Main: Brian

8:30pm: 2nd Main: Francine

9pm: Side dish or salad: David

9:30pm: 3rd Main: Tina

10pm: Desert: Alicia

Amuse Bouche’s are open season — whenever they fit in. Aim for fancy-restaurant / tapas-sized portions, ie: a recipe for 4 is usually plenty. If your drink pairing is wine, one bottle usually suffices. We’ll have bread for the table, and plenty of house-beverages if you’re extra-thirsty.
